New outages will occur until storm clears the area
Out-of-state linemen and support staff expected to arrive today
BALTIMORE, Feb. 6, 2010 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), a subsidiary of Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG), today announced it has restored electric service to more than 28,000 customers since the winter storm began to impact Central Maryland Friday afternoon. However, the utility expects the number of customers without power to increase steadily as the wet, heavy snow and high wind continue to weigh down trees and tree limbs, bringing them down onto power lines and other electric equipment.
"BGE crews have been working around-the-clock to restore electric service to customers as quickly and as safely as possible, however, until this weather system clears our service area, additional outages will continue to impact our customers" said A. Christopher Burton, senior vice president of gas and electric operations and planning for BGE. "Our field forces are working under extremely hazardous driving conditions which will extend crew arrival times. Additionally, once crews arrive at job sites, the area must be made safe, snow and tree debris must also be cleared before work can begin to repair or replace the electric equipment. All of this will extend outage durations. We thank our customers for their patience and understanding as we work through this very challenging storm."
Approximately 850 BGE and contract personnel are actively engaged in the storm restoration process. Additionally, approximately 300 linemen and support staff from Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio are expected to arrive later today and begin assisting BGE with the restoration, bringing the total number of field and support resources to approximately 1,150.
It is far too early to determine when all customers will be restored to service but the restoration effort is likely to continue for several days. BGE is working very closely with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency and local jurisdictions to ensure a coordinated effort.
To assist customers in managing extended outages, BGE reminds customers to keep the following items readily available:
* Flashlights – not candles
* Fresh batteries
* Battery operated clock radio
* Corded telephone
* Fully charged cell phone
* Non-perishable foods
* Blankets
Customers also should consider filling the fuel tanks of their vehicles in the event a power outage affects service to neighborhood gas stations. For our customers who rely on well water, filling a bathtub with water in advance of severe weather is strongly encouraged. Customers using a generator or space heater should follow manufacturer instructions and be sure to locate generators in well-ventilated areas.
Additionally, customers with special needs such as those who may be elderly, handicapped or dependent on electricity for medical equipment, should have alternate arrangements in place should they experience an extended power outage. BGE's restoration priorities are public safety issues and critical facilities, such as 911 centers, hospitals and pumping stations. Then restoration is generally scheduled so that the greatest number of customers can be restored as quickly and as safely as possible. However, in cases of extended power outages, consideration is also given to customers who have been without service for the longest.
Customers are reminded to always stay clear of downed wires and to call BGE at 1-877-778-2222 to report downed wires, power outages or any unsafe condition involving gas or electric delivery. For more information about BGE storm preparation and how customers can protect their families and property, go to www.bge.com <http://www.bge.com> .
In addition to monitoring current and approaching weather conditions which could result in service interruptions, BGE regularly conducts emergency training drills during which all aspects of storm related service restoration are tested. BGE also reviews its Electric Delivery Emergency Response Plan to ensure that storm response procedures are up-to-date and in line with industry standards.
BGE, www.bge.com <file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\e48945\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Internet%20Files\OLK9A\www.bge.com> , headquartered in Baltimore, is Maryland's largest gas and electric utility, delivering power to more than 1.2 million electric customers and more than 640,000 natural gas customers in Central Maryland. The company's approximately 3,000 employees are committed to the safe and reliable delivery of gas and electricity, as well as enhanced energy management, conservation, environmental stewardship and community assistance. BGE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Energy, www.constellation.com <file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\e48945\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Internet%20Files\OLK9A\www.constellation.com> , a FORTUNE 500 company also headquartered in Baltimore with subsidiaries that generate, sell and provide other energy-related services to customers throughout North America.

Alex is now the earliest landfalling hurricane in 15 years. And many folks are already using this as a basis for fearing the upcoming hurricane season.
While it is true that Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico sea surface temperatures are very warm and that La Nina is replacing El Nino, complex atmospheric - oceanographic interactions will eventually define this season.
Consider 1992. This was a very weak season and forecast to be one. Yet Andrew, one the most devastating storms until that time, struck southeast Florida.
The opposite could happen. 2010 could have lots of storms, but none strike our area. Hence, the season would be classified as a dud.
As for long-term trends, Chris Landsea, Science and Operations Officer at the National Hurricane Center, has studied 120 years of hurricane history. His data say steady as it goes, with a slight decrease in the number of storms. As for intensity, there is a slight increase.
All in all, climatologically, things will average out as about average.

Heads up for all of you who own a DSi (not DS Lite) Cave Story has been released for the system. While I can't vouch for how good it is, if it's anything like the WiiWare version this is certainly a title you'll be interested in checking out. Also… it's Cave Story. Come on.
The game should be available right now (or very soon) for 1000 DSi points or $10, if my Nintendo points to USD conversion is accurate.

Television shows are a part of people's lives these days because these shows give people entertainment and some time for relaxation after working, going to school, or doing your everyday activities.. For others, it is also a time to bond with their families and friends. Indeed, TV shows cannot be taken out of the picture in the lives of people since there are lots of shows that are really interesting to watch these days. Here are some of the most top rated shows that are airing these days and you might want to consider watching them so that you will also be entertained as well.
First on the list is Sunday night football. This TV show has really taken everybody by storm, most especially sports lovers. American football is one of the most famous sports in the US along with baseball and basketball so there s no doubt that Sunday night football is on the list of the top rated TV shows. Second on the list is Sound of Music Live which is a musical TV show that is based on the classic film The Sound of Music which starred Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. This show is very entertaining because it is a live performance and is played by musical country artist Carrie Underwood. It is much different from the movie because it is a musical play that is played live on air. It is definitely best for music lovers and it is a family show. Third on the list is the Big Bang Theory. This is a sitcom that is about four geeky guys and one sophisticated and comic girl. The four guys are professionals while the girl is an aspiring actress and part-time waitress. In general, the show tells about their daily lives as friends. Fourth on the list is Sunday Night NFL Pre-kick which is a show that predicts that outcome of games based on stats and updates. Last on the list is the OT which is an overview of some NFL games.
These are only some of the top rated shows but there are still lots more to watch. These shows would really entertain you a lot so why not try to watch these shows if you have time. For sure, it would really take your stress away after a hard day's work. There is no better way to relax than just sitting on your couch and watching television.

MONTROSE – Last Wednesday evening, after a soak at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool, Nora Duckworth convinced her husband Bill to turn off at the Ridgway Conoco Station on their way home to Montrose so she could pick up a handful of lottery tickets.
It was the night of the big multi-state Powerball drawing worth $550 million. "I really wanted to buy a Powerball ticket," said Duckworth, a naturalized American citizen who is native to the Philippines. Because she had $3 left in her wallet, she decided to buy three Colorado Lottery tickets as well.
One of them turned out to be a Lotto Jackpot winning ticket. Now Nora Duckworth is $6,180,879 million richer.
Ridgway Conoco Manager Kelly Kuboske said she received word on Thursday morning that her store had sold the winning ticket. She was thrilled that Duckworth, a fairly regular customer, had won. The store will get a $5,000 reward from the state lottery office.
According to Colorado Lottery Spokeswoman Heather Black, it was "completely a coincidence" that Duckworth's Lotto Jackpot ticket was drawn on the same night as the highly publicized Powerball drawing.
"The Colorado Lottery is a completely different game," Black said. "It just happened to occur during the same time as the crazy Powerball run. She [Duckworth] won more with that Lotto Jackpot than the person in Colorado who did win on Powerball." (That winner got a mere $2 million.)
Call it coincidence, or call it karma – that Buddhist law of moral causation that says nothing happens to a person that she does not, for some reason or other, deserve.
The Duckworths have done a lot of things to help their fellow human beings over the years. Since 1996, they have brought over a dozen Tibetan, Nepalese and Indian refugees to their home south of Montrose to help them get a fresh start in the U.S. through an organization they founded called Western Colorado Friends of the Himalaya.
The nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization promotes cultural awareness of the Himalayan region and promotes world peace through educational and cultural programs as well as supporting relief work in the region.
"Nora is very deserving," said longtime friend and fellow advocate Val Burnell of Montrose. "She has had so many people come through their home. They [Nora and Bill] have changed so many lives, it's unbelievable."
The Duckworths became inspired to start their organization after traveling together in Nepal in the mid-1990s.
"We met a lot of Tibetans and started conversing with them," Nora said. She was moved by their stories of war, poverty and exile. "I told Bill, 'I think I want to help these people.'"
Just like that, they started the Friends of Tibet.
The organization has since broadened its scope, and its name, to embrace the educational and medical needs of people in the whole Himalayan region. Some of the refugees the Duckworths have helped have since moved on; others have settled in the Montrose area.
Jigchen Tso is among those whose life has been profoundly changed. The Duckworths met the spirited young Tibetan teenager at a refugee camp in Nepal, brought her home for medical treatment and later adopted her as their daughter. She could barely speak English when she came to Montrose over a decade ago. Now, she has graduated from CU Boulder with a degree in biology and lives in Montrose once more with her Tibetan husband – the Duckworths' son-in-law.
"People ask us why we do this," Nora said, in English still flavored with her native Tagalog. "If you can change the life of one person, that's good. It's really nice to help them. Here they can have freedom. I love this country because it's the land of opportunity. It's true."
Nora, almost 50, works as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Montrose Memorial Hospital. She sends all of her modest salary back to her family in the Philippines. Thanks to her generosity, numerous nieces and nephews have been able to get a college education. "Nine kids already finished college, and four are in college now," she said.
Many have followed their aunt's footsteps and gone into the nursing field.
"I just want to make sure they can do it," she said. "They are very smart. I know they have the talent. That's why I do it."
Since Nora's big Lotto win, some of the folks whom she has helped over the years have been telling her, "You guys deserve it," she said. "Like, something good happen to good people. I don't know. I think just luck."
Nora claimed her prize at the Colorado Lottery office in Grand Junction late last week, but declined to pose for the camera with the giant paycheck. She also declined to publicly share her story with lottery officials. Still, she said, word has since gotten out about her win.
"A lot of people get crazy already," she said. "I get a lot of calls."
Duckworth thinks she might quit her job pretty soon. She wants to be able to travel with her husband, who is 25 years her senior, while they still can.
"He loves to travel crazy stuff," she said, like climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, for example, or riding the TransSiberian Railroad from Beijing to Moscow. The couple will stay rooted in Montrose, however, because "this is our home we love."
Nora also plans to use her Lotto money to find ways to help more kids go to school. "I believe education is a wealth nobody can take away from you," she said. "That's the most important wealth you can have, is your education."

In The Star
Jan. 20, 1939, in The Star: More than 200 people from all parts of Calhoun County gathered at Alexandria High School last night to honor members of the 1938 football squad and to see pictures of the Pacific Coast football game between the University of Alabama and Southern California. Because Coach Frank Thomas, Alabama mentor, was ailing with another attack of arthritis, his two chief assistants, "Bear" Bryant and "Happy" Campbell, attended the banquet instead and screened the pictures. Bryant was introduced to the crowd, one of the largest ever to attend an Alexandria school function, by Chester C. Dillon, athletics director of Jacksonville State Teachers College, while Campbell received an introduction from C. J. Allen, superintendent of county schools. Also this date: A 15-year-old mountain mother was in Talladega County Jail today, charged with the murder of her 18-year-old husband. Her original story had at first seemed plausible, that she accidentally discharged a shotgun while handing it to him, but authorities developed doubts and arrested the young widow immediately after the funeral of her young husband. The couple made their home in a remote mountain cabin 15 miles northeast of Talladega.
Jan. 20, 1989, in The Star: Anniston city school officials have taken their first step to meet a state requirement that students be identified with Social Security numbers by the start of school next year. First-graders must have a Social Security number when starting school next fall. Also this date: A child dies at the hand of crazed gun woman who walks into a suburban Chicago school and opens fire. Five California children are killed when a 26-year-old former student drops by his old elementary school playground and starts shooting. As horrifying as these incidents are, they are hardly preventable, area school officials say. Mike Ward, president of White Plains PTO and the parent of two school children, says the value of security guards could be debated. ''But I don't feel there's a need for one. I hope not. 'Anytime you hear something like that (the Stockton shootings) it hits close to home because you think 'that could have been my little girl on the playground.' But you just have to hope and pray it never does happen to your part of the world. … It's sad to think you would need a security officer. But the day may come when we will need them in all the schools."

Deion Branch relishing role as one of Patriots 'old guys'
INDIANAPOLIS — Seven seasons ago, when he won the Super Bowl XXXIX MVP award in New England's 24-21 win over Philadelphia, Deion Branch was a 25-year-old in his third NFL season.
This time around, at 32, Branch is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. And he's more than willing to admit it.
"I'm one of the old guys now," Branch said with a chuckle while talking with reporters Monday.
Make no mistake about it: The Patriots are a veteran team, especially at spots like offensive line and quarterback. Branch, as part of that experienced corps, has embraced a mentoring role on a receiving unit that features 30-year-old Wes Welker, 25-year-old Julian Edelman and a pair of incomparable second-year tight ends in Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
New England made a huge splash this summer when it traded for Chad Ochocinco, but the franchise's trade in October 2010 to bring Branch back from Seattle proved to be a much bigger move.
"I was excited, very honored, blessed to come back to the same team that drafted me," Branch said of the deal that saw the Patriots send a 2011 fourth-round pick to Seattle in exchange for him. "When you're used to playing with a certain guy — playing with Tom [Brady] — and used to the things off the field, the transition was pretty smooth."
Branch won a pair of Super Bowl rings during his first stint with the Patriots from 2002-05. He turned in two terrific performances on the game's biggest stage, too, claiming that Super Bowl MVP award with an 11-catch, 133-yard performance against the Eagles and grabbing 10 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown the year before in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
How much he's involved on Sunday might depend some on how healthy Rob Gronkowski's ankle is — not to mention who the Giants employ to cover Branch.
But there's something to be said for the comfort level Branch has developed with Brady over the years. Bill Belichick praised Branch's role on this team during his Monday meeting with the press, and just a few weeks back, compared Branch to Kevin Faulk, Randy Moss and Troy Brown.
"I think everyone knows how important Deion is to our to our football team, to our offense and our passing game," Belichick told reporters in Indy. "He does a lot of things. He handles a lot of different responsibilities as far as where he lines up, his position and his assignments.
"He has great confidence in his relationship with Tom (Brady) because of their experience together. I couldn't imagine anybody on the team not thinking that Deion Branch has a tremendous importance to our football team."
It's no surprise that Branch, in his … um … "old" age, has mimicked a lot of what Brown brought to the table. Monday, Branch talked about the guidance Brown and another ex-Patriot, David Patten, gave to him when he broke into the league.
He's tried to pass those lessons on down, including to Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez this season.
"I was talking with David a couple of days ago, and he was one of the guys I looked up to," Branch said. "Him and Troy helped me out when I was a young guy, and now I have the same opportunity to do that for our young guys."
Despite taking a back seat to New England's other passing targets most weekends, Branch still caught 51 passes and scored five touchdowns this season. His presence in the lineup alone provides Brady with a familiar target and gives defenses someone else they must account for each week.
Part of why the Patriots brought Branch back, not to mention why he's excelled since returning, is that he's perfectly content to play the role he's been handed.
"That's cool, I just do my job," Branch said. "I can't worry about who's controlling the ABCDs. I'm not here to be the one that needs all the attention."
Branch, though, has stolen the spotlight on this stage before. And given the chance in Super Bowl XLVI, he could do so again.
"I think everything," Branch said, "is based on opportunities."
Spoken like someone who's been down this road before.

Hutson Named PFL Offensive Freshman of the Year
Monday, December 10, 2012
The Pioneer Football League announced its 2012 major award winners Monday and Valparaiso running back Jake Hutson (Blanchard, Mich./Montabella) was named as the PFL Freshman Offensive Player of the Year. Honors were determined following a vote from the league's coaches. Hutson is the first Crusader player to earn one of the league's major awards.
Hutson scored a team-high eight touchdowns to go along with 753 rushing yards, the highest single-season total by a Crusader since 2008.
The rookie scampered for a career-best 248 yards against Campbell University and was named PFL Co-Offensive Player of the Week for the performance. He was also honored nationally, earning The Sports Network FCS National Co-Freshman of the Week honors, after racking up the highest single game rushing performance by a PFL player since 2005.
The freshman was particularly impressive in league action, where he averaged 83.8 yards per game and scored seven of his eight touchdowns. Hutson had two multi-touchdown games and got in the end zone in each of the last three games of the season.
The rookie led PFL freshmen in several statistical categories, including rushing yards (68.5), offensive touchdowns (8) and all-purpose yards (110.5). Among FCS freshmen, Hutson ranked fourth in the nation in rushing yards.
Hutson was also awarded PFL Freshman of the Year by College Sports Madness, where he was also a Second Team All-League selection. In November, Hutson was added to the Jerry Rice Award watch list, which honors the national freshman of the year in the FCS.

Tried to change an icon and things went wrong (Finder is in root mode?)
Hey there! I'm not very good with technical things but thought I would go about changing some of my icons. I had trouble when I got to the iTunes icon, and I went on this website to walk me through it:
I got to step 5 when things started going wrong. I had posted my new icon onto the iTunes icon and realized it hadn't changed in the dock. I pulled it off of the dock (made it disappear) and went to recreate the shortcut and I found iTunes had disappeared in the Applications folder. I see now I should have done this at the end of step 6, but I didn't read ahead and wanted to make sure it actually worked so I just did it at the moment.
Freaked out, I went to finish step 6 (closing out of root mode using Terminal) and could not get Terminal to react and Finder to close out so I could open it outside of root mode.
So basically here is what is the matter:
iTunes is seemingly gone. It isn't in my Applications folder anymore. The icon now named iTunes is on my desktop, but doesn't do anything when I click on it.
I can't get out of the root Finder mode. Terminal isn't shutting Finder down like that website said it would.
Please help I'm really terrified I've ruined something here! Thanks so much.
UPDATE! I managed to close out of the root mode of Finder (forced quit Finder and restart in in Terminal so everything reset and went back to normal), but iTunes is still missing! Have no clue where to go from here.

Hey folks,
I had been running my EEEPC 1000HE with 10.6.7 fine for quite a while now, but lately some problems "occured".
Firstly, it stopped finding WiFi networks, so I decided to turn AirPort Off and On again.
But that did not really work so I decided to reboot the whole system.
After a reboot the icon said: "No AirPort card installed"
I also have no WiFi connection at all, but in the "About Mac" window, my AirPort service is still listed.
The other problem is, that I wanted to connect the EEEPC to my TV via VGA. That worked well, when extending the screen to the TV.
After choosing to synchronize the screen, all I get is nothing but graphic bugs. I can not even turn the synchronize option off, when connected to the TV. And after disconnecting the checkbox is gone.
Maybe there's some terminal command to fix that?
Thanks in advance,

November 21, 2000
LA CROSSE, Wis.— This holiday season, Viterbo University students are inviting the La Crosse community to join them in "lighting up" the holidays for area children in need.
The Viterbo Residence Life Apartment Staff has paired with Family Resources of La Crosse to sponsor "Community Candles," an opportunity for the people in the La Crosse area to reach out this holiday season to help children in our community who are in need.
Donations in any amount will be accepted, however, for every $15 donation, a "candle" is "lit" in the Viterbo University Student Union, signifying a child in need in our community will receive gifts this Christmas—one they need (such as a jacket) and one they want (such as a book or game).
The paper "candles" will be considered "lit" once they are displayed in the windows of the Viterbo Student Union. The name of the sponsoring group or individual will be written on the candle.
"The holiday season is a time for family, friends, goodwill, and gift-giving. Yet, for many local families, this is not the reality. There are a number of area children who do not receive gifts at Christmas," said Adrienne Appler, Viterbo Residence Life apartment coordinator and director of the Student Union. "That's why a holiday project like 'Community Candles' is so important. It helps all of us share our goodwill and Christmas spirit with those in need."
Donations will be accepted until Wednesday, Dec. 13, and can be placed in the "Community Candles" box in the Viterbo Student Union, 815 Ninth Street South, or mailed to:
Project Community Candles
Viterbo University Student Union
815 9th Street South
La Crosse, WI 54601
Those wishing to donate should place their donations in a sealed envelope along with a separate piece of paper on which is written their name and the name to appear on the "candle" that will be displayed in the Student Union window.
After Dec. 13, Viterbo University Residence Life Apartment Staff will purchase and wrap the gifts which Family Resources will distribute to families in time for Christmas.
For more information, contact Adrienne Appler at 796-3840 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Since the trustees-approved University of Opportunity: Hope and Help comprehensive campaign began quietly in January 2008, $37 million of the $40 million goal has been raised.

Worcester marks Movember with moustache mayhem
8:00am Wednesday 4th December 2013 in News
THE famous moustache of Charlie Chaplin had new rivals in the form of hospital chaplains during a charity fund-raiser.
Team Mighty Movember, made up of chaplains from three county hospitals and RVS volunteer David Eastwood, were among thousands of others taking part in the month-long fund-raiser.
The money is used to raise raise awareness and improve treatment for men suffering with prostate and testicular cancer, and mental health.
And the moustache marathon saw chaplains David Southall, from Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Guy Hewlett from Kidderminster Hospital and David Ryan from the Alexandra in Redditch, raise more than £500 for the cause.

The Worcestershire team was part of the Holy Mo – a national collective of groups from faith communities, which saw 314 teams raise more than £23,000.
Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust chairman Harry Turner joined the team on Monday for a 'shave off' to mark the end of the challenge.
Rev Southall said: "I thoroughly enjoyed my mo. I was quite sad to lose."
Mr Turner said: "I'm delighted to be here. Our chaplains have led the way with Movember this year."
Others across the county who joined in sent us their pictures. See if you can spot anyone you know!

The Weezer Play/Opera
So before I confuse you by going straight into it, I want to try to give an explanation of what I am going to be talking about. Well, as we've all probably noticed the steady decline of weezer's music around the Red Album, and certainly after; now that was the big decline. I think we all noticed the smaller decline of weezer's music around when the Green Album came out. It just was missing something that Pinkerton and Blue had.
Now, I know this will probably be criticized as a conspiracy theory, but I believe that there is reason for the musical decline, other than Rivers' supposed depression, and horrible criticisms. First of all, before I get ahead of myself, I've loved all the music up to, and including, the Red Album, not as much as the music from Pinkerton or Blue, but I still loved pretty much all of it. But I think that there is a hidden story within Weezer, other than the nerdy gimmick, and all of that. You can obviously tell as Weezer progressed that they changed and that the style changed. I believe it is all part of a story that Rivers was trying to tell through his musical alterations, and his style changes.
Now once again, before I get ahead of myself, I'd like to point out the style changes. Weezer started out as a 90s alt. rock band, with no care in the world about what people thought of them, until they started blowing up, through the means of music videos and college radio. Rivers would question his songwriting ability, and whether it were the music videos that made them popular (good). So he started to go into this really depressed fame. Around that time he was working on SFTBH, and pretty much completely got rid of the idea, besides for a few songs that made it onto Pinkerton. I believe Pinkerton was the beginning of this story that Rivers wanted to tell through the weezer project. He includes The Blue Album, although it was not intended to be part of the story when he wrote Blue. He pretty much makes his life an opera. I believe that's why he started with Pinkerton, he shows that that is what he's doing by using Madama Butterfly. He played a character, that was hit by fame in the worst way, which is himself... but that's what he's doing, he's making his life a story. So, as Pinkerton resolves, it became a commercial failure, but there was a cult following that was steadily growing. I'm not saying that Rivers intended the flop, but he had to know somewhere in his mind that Pinkerton couldn't be too successful of a commercial album, after all, Rivers is a very smart guy, and he knows a lot about music. Pinkerton is raw, mid-fi, with hooks that take a while to settle in your heart, but once they do, they are the strongest, because they came from his heart.
Then at the time, he went back to College, and he was studying music and all sorts. Notably, he studied shakespeare as; now that is something I will get to later on. You all probably know where I am going with this though. At the end of his college years, Weezer got back together and made Green. At this time they were a broken band. Rivers wanted to incorporate this by writing, pretty much souless songs, that were just all pop hooks. He wanted to show his character was broken, and that he wanted to hide behind these pop-rock songs that didnt touch any emotion.
Then Green is followed by maladroit. Rivers starts wearing suits and starts talking cool. I think the order of the songs on maladroit really had an impact on the story. The first half of the album, is much like green, emotionless, and full of pop energy that Rivers could hide behind. Then as you go down the album, you hear songs like Slob (where he must be criticizing his life), the emotion-filled Slave, the love song Fall Together, and finally a song that I feel should have been on Pinkerton, called "December". December is a really touching song, and in every way reflects the feelings of those of Pinkerton. That's where Rivers is allowing people once again to see a "weakness" in himself, or his character. I dont know about you, but when I first heard that song, it really brought me back. December is also a perfect segue into Make Believe.
I don't believe for one second that Make Believe was supposed to be Weezer's last album. The shakespeare quote in the liner notes of the album, was not only a trick, but Rivers is saying that that was the last time that he'd really show any sort of emotion or weakness, and that that was pretty much the last act in his opera. Make Believe, in a lot of ways, is like Pinkerton. It wasn't exactly a commercial failure, because it had Beverly Hills, but it definitely had really mixed reviews, with some people thinking it was horrible. I think, like Pinkerton, people will start to notice how good the album actually is.
Referring to where I mentioned that Make Believe was the last time Rivers would show weakness, leads me to Red. Before I started having this realization, I couldn't understand why Weezer would decide to leave off the 3 best songs from the album, Miss Sweeney, Pig, and Spider. Now I'm not going to say Miss Sweeney was full of emotion, although it totally did show signs of true emotion, more than any track on Red, with the exception of The Angel and The One (which I'll get to). Even Heart Songs doesn't show much emotion, it's more of just a story of his career, it's not his feelings at all. So, getting to those 3 songs-- they had to be left off the album because Rivers wanted the Weezer image to become detached from emotion. He wanted Make Believe to be the last sign of true emotion. So he left those great songs off the album, but yet included them in bonuses, just so he could still somewhat pour his heart out to the world, but yet have it be deemed as unofficial.
Now getting to The Angel and The One. Doesn't this song kind of strike a chord with you? Epic closing song, with great gutiar hooks, perfect melodies and a simple message? This song, in every way, is Rivers trying to mold Only in Dreams into something new. It's basically Rivers' curtain call. He didn't want to show that emotion that he left off with on Pinkerton. If he wanted to do that, all of those bonus songs would be on the album, and Spider, much like Butterfly, would have closed the album. You know the thought definitely crossed his mind though, because he wrote it. Instead of making the come back for a surprise scene, he gave the crowd an encore. Everything following, is just Rivers, the character, playing after the play, which you can definitely tell from Raditude. The players in Weezer's show have become detached from the opera. This can especially be seen from the live performances, if you couldn't tell from the music itself.
This may sound completely crazy to you, but just think about it for a while before you start hating on me.

thanks man.
uh can you summarize this for those of us that want to make fun of you but don't care enough to read all that?
youre cool man. nice face.
thanks man.
Remember that time I outlined an awesome rock opera using the songs from weezer in that thread made by that guy who also made an outline of a rock opera using the songs of weezer but then he deleted his thread because his rock opera outline was silly and then I lost my awesome outline of a rock opera using weezer songs cause I do.
haha, i just signed up to this forum, so, sorry, I don't know. But if you'd link me, I would definitely check it out!

I read trough it John, and you could be right. But why would Rivers do that?
Hey, thanks a lot guys! I don't know why he would do it really. Maybe because he really wanted to make something more than the music. Who knows.
Hum, interesting article...I do take the perspective on the whole thing that a band has to evolve in order to continue to grow musically so, yes many people might not think their new stuff is as good as their older stuff, but well doesn't effect my opinion of them. Sorry to critics but I happened to like the album Make Believe the first time I heard it, trouble is some of the best songs on it were not made into videos. Not a huge fan of Raditude, but the Red Album had some good points. And yes their older albums are awesome...lol. Anyhow, my point is thanks never quite looked at it that way before.

Hedge funds look for opportunities to generate returns in many ways, whether the financial markets are going up, down, or sideways.
They might sell one stock "short," anticipating it to fall in value, and go "long" on another stock. Other hedge fund managers seek to capitalize on small differences in foreign exchange rates, commodity values or other types of markets.
But before putting a portion of your investment portfolio into hedge funds, you should understand how they work, as well as the varied strategies pursued by their managers. Analysts often divide hedge funds into five categories:
• Event-driven funds that focus on mergers, acquisitions, distressed securities and bankruptcy situations.
• Relative-value funds that look for opportunities to exploit small differences in buy-sell pricing, a strategy also called arbitrage
• Market-neutral funds that take offsetting long and short positions on certain stocks
• Long-short funds that vary the proportion of long and short stock positions over time
• Global macro funds that focus on price changes in stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities and their associated derivatives.
By moving quickly to take advantage of these types of opportunities, a skilled hedge fund manager may have the ability to produce attractive returns for investors. On the other hand, not all hedge fund strategies pay off.
Therefore, one option that appeals to some investors is buying into a fund of hedge funds. This is a broader approach designed to reduce the risks inherent in pursuing just one strategy. So, if one fund underperforms there may be less of an impact on an investor's overall returns. Investors in a fund of hedge funds may have a more diversified, and potentially less volatile portfolio than a similar investor in a single manager hedge fund.
In general, both single manager hedge funds and funds of hedge funds allow investors to diversify their holdings, and may provide a great deal of flexibility. Typically hedge funds produce returns that are not correlated with the stock and bond markets.
Of course, there are also some disadvantages associated with hedge funds. Investors need to do their homework and understand the strategies, goals, and risks as hedge funds can be highly illiquid, speculative, subject to risks, including the loss of principal, and are not suitable for all investors. Because of their complexity, these investments can be more difficult to analyze than stocks, bonds or mutual funds. As part of that research, investors should compare one fund with others that follow a similar strategy, as well as any benchmarks. An "apples" to "oranges" comparison won't tell you how well a particular hedge fund is doing compared to its peers.
Nevertheless, hedge funds can be an important component of many portfolios. With their potential for generating above average returns (sometimes called "alpha") while reducing overall portfolio volatility, hedge funds are worth a close look.

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Manhattan Remodel and Cape Cod Affordable > Episode 16: Refurbishing Wrought Iron, Custom Kitchen Cabinets, Profile Molding
Custom Moldings, Window Casings, and Coves
The facade of the Manhattan Brownstone has its wrought iron work, carvings, and Brownstone paint stripped and refurbished by Erik Nadoban of Nadoban Painting. Inside, a huge kitchen is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets designed to replicate the painted finishes and panel design of a Victorian kitchen. Thomas Bump of Fine Custom Cabinetry shows Bob the Maple veneer interiors, paint-grade mixed hardwood face frames, doors, and panels on these cabinets and drawers. The tinted, sprayed catalyzed finish is so durable and easy-to-clean that it is epoxy-like. On the doors, concealed hinges can be tightened three ways for proper hanging. On the drawers, concealed hardware supports self-closing drawers. In the front of this floor-through apartment, grand one-over-one windows replace 1940s conversion casements. These windows have a box casing on the interior that is the depth of the masonry wall. Victorian profile moldings surround the windows and soar to period-style, custom fiberglass cove moldings at the ceiling. Landmarks Commission approval for these windows may have delayed construction on the Brownstone for nearly a month, but Bob and Chris Vila agree it was worth it as they look at boarded openings on a neighboring building where custom windows were removed for lack of approval.
- Part 1: Restoring the Brownstone Facade and Working on the Wrought Iron
- Part 2: Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Drawers
- Part 3: Custom Moldings, Window Casings, and Coves
- The front room of the Manhattan Brownstone is getting its finishing touches as prefabricated oversize cove molding is installed at the ceiling. This molding is made of plaster and fiberglass strands to make it sturdy but light. The windows are then finished with a casing the depth of the masonry wall. Once it is nailed in place, the Victorian profile molding can be installed around the window and up to the cove molding at the ceiling. These high-profile moldings can now be made of one piece of wood, but the Victorians would have layered different profiles, one on top of the other, to achieve the same look. The molding is set with panel adhesive then nailed in place. This traditional window casing design features a header and casing running down to a plinth or decorative block at the base.
This project deals with two very different notions of home. Bob begins on New York City's Upper West Side, where an 1890s Brownstone is revitalized through high-quality craftsmanship and sensitive design. New York's past meets its present, as the entire floor is recaptured and refurbished to create a spacious urban apartment on the doorstep of Central Park.
At the same time, Bob works with a Cape Cod developer to apply Massachusetts land use statute 40B to create affordable housing, and a neighborhood of homes in Mashpee, MA. These Energy Star certified homes show how quality building practices and reasonable asking prices can work together to provide livable, affordable homes and neighborhoods to those who work in our communities.

Also from Manhattan Remodel and Cape Cod Affordable
Episode 1 - A New Lift for a Manhattan BrownstoneDescription:
Bob is on Manhattan's Upper West Side to renew a 2,000-square-foot Brownstone apartment. First, he looks at what made Brownstones significant, including their details and façades.

 Inside the building, Bob shows how the space was cut up in the 1940s to make a warren of rooms. These walls and finishes will be removed as the space is gutted to prepare for new studs, walls, plumbing, and finishes.

 Pieces will be salvaged for architectural resale, including the pink sink from the bathroom and the retro cabinets in the kitchen, but everything else will go. Bob also visits Central Park, its caretakers, trees, and monuments.
Episode 2 - Demolition in the Manhattan BrownstoneDescription:
The big story is the cornice molding found in tact when the drop ceiling came down. The molding will set a tone for the main living space, where the bricks have been removed to install a flue liner and drafting fireplace. All of the 40s wall, surface, and ceiling treatments are gone, along with the lath and plaster, leaving the bare brick and exposed joists from the original construction. Remodels have cut into the joist work or damaged it, so some reworking will be necessary to build up for the floors and ceilings. The floor joists are sistered to make a level, solid footing for the Georgia-Pacific Plytanium subflooring that goes under the wood floor. Laser levels allow the carpenters to set level lines throughout the apartment horizontally for the floor and vertically for the new steel studs they are installing. Finally, a flexible flue liner is run through the wall, and up the chimney for the new fireplace.
Episode 3 - Building Affordable Homes on Cape CodDescription:
Affordable housing is the story in this project as Bob heads to Mashpee, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, where a state law is helping put higher density, affordable housing in place for four families who live and work in the community. Bob meets Pat Fiero of the Housing Assistance Corporation who explains the hurdles faced by families needing to live near their workplaces in a town where the average home price is $450,000. Bob visits Mashpee Commons and looks at mixed-use development that is providing a town center, housing, commercial property, recreational space, and a new church as a start to this new town development. Bob also meets the developer, Joe Valle, who explains the challenges in developing affordable housing and how this project was made possible by invoking Massachusetts? 40B land use and development law.
